Is God calling you to engage as a volunteer missionary?

Short term missionaries are primarily serving in volunteer positions around the world, though there are longer term positions that cover all expenses and provide a stipend.

FOR GROUPS
We are here to serve you and your short term mission team. From obtaining the
free travel accident insurance to "friend raising" and finding
support, from navigating the strange and wonderful world of passports, visas,
and immunizations to cross cultural orientation training weekends - we are
delighted to help.Clicking here will
take you to a page full of downloadable hints and helps as you prepare your
